Twelve Days of Christmas: a Santa That Wasn'T Me

On Christmas Eve I was trapped in snow,
my house resembled the ingloo of an Eskimo: 
presents in silver boxes just laid there,
twelve Power Rangers, 
eleven hair-curlers, 
ten brown teddy bears,
nine Purina cans, 
eight diet biscuit bags,
seven pairs of gloves,
six votive candles for my favorite Saint Anthonyyyy,
five boxes of crayons,
four make-up kits,
three large chocolate bars,
two pairs of wool gloves,  
and one beard trimmer for a Santa that wasn't meeee!
